Jon Krakauer's life is related to Christopher McCandless's life because Krakauer wrote a book called "Into the Wild" detailing McCandless's journey and ultimate death in the Alaskan wilderness. Krakauer's own experiences as a mountaineer and adventurer allowed him to connect with McCandless's story and provide insight into the motivations and choices that led to McCandless's tragic end. Their lives are linked through Krakauer's retelling of McCandless's adventures in his book.
McCandless regretfully calls the discovery of his father's affair one of the greatest tragedies of his life.
